Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
WellThere'sThat
Today, I got a big math test back. Good news: I can connect abstract ideas beyond what was taught. Bad news: I can’t do simple math, such as 30/-5. I failed. FML

Teacher bust out the sad smiley face
Today, I got my multivariable calc final back, only to realize that the ten points I got off was for putting 10 + 15 = 35 on a problem. My teacher wrote ten question marks and “No???? 25???? :(“ next to it. FML

Today, I have a final for my precalculus class. After hours of studying this week, I felt pretty optimistic. Until I got to class and realized that I'd forgotten my calculator. FML

Today, I got back my math test. Instead of taking the time to mark the mistakes, my professor just circled the bottom half of the page and wrote "OMG." FML

Maths is hard
Today, disappointed with my results on a mathematics test, I went over it and realized my teacher had added up the marks incorrectly, leaving me with 17% less than I earned. The person who's supposed to be teaching me math can't even perform basic arithmetic. FML

Oh please, I have a degree in math and do stupid stuff like that too. You're probably into theoretical stuff by now, so it's easy to screw up the simple math. Just don't divide by zero!

It's okay, OP, just a minor brain fart. You mistakenly wrote down a 2 instead of a 1. It happens to the best of us. As long as you didn't fail the quiz, then don't worry about it.

Like OMG! A math major making a mistake?! OH MY GOD, that's never happened in the history of forever! THE WORLD IS ENDING!!!!!! -_- OP, STFU. I love how you mention being a math major as if it's supposed to automatically make it impossible for you to make mistakes.

this is understandable to people who've actually taken upper level math courses like calculus. when you start to learn algebra and calculus and differential equations, you forget the 4 simple math operators.
